A performer stands on a stage under a green-lit ornate arch, holding a silver trident with his left hand and resting his right hand on his hip. He wears an orange-red wrap over bare shoulders, a dark rudraksha mala with rudraksha bracelets on the arms, a bell-studded beaded belt and a pendant necklace, with a dark tilak mark on the forehead and long dark hair. Behind him is a purple starry backdrop with a red crescent shape. The scene is lit in green and red. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate adornment and trident.
